1.

Gu Ci is a well-known artist in the illustration community. Her conceptual art has made her practically famous, and her fans are curious about what the artist behind those heavenly works really looks like.

Then, on the day Gu Ci's followers across the internet passed five million, a video went viral, and everyone learned what she looked like.

In the video, red roses are painted across the fair, beautiful face of a young woman. Fine flecks of glitter shimmer on her lashes. She holds a bouquet of red roses, her eyes bright and lips red, her cheeks flushed. She looks like a rose with a tipsy glow, intoxicating at first sight.

Many netizens say: So this is the real "Rose Girl"!

One fan replies: I thought the artist's paintings had no models, but it turns out the model for "Tipsy Rose" is the artist herself! Her paintings are beautiful, and so is she. No more words, I'm going to swoon over my wife.

After returning to the country, Bo Lin attends a gathering and overhears several people talking about a beautiful artist. He casually lowers his eyes, and his gaze skims across someone's phone. The girl's exquisite, lovely face comes into view. A moment later, he calmly looks away.

He has no good opinion of people who make money off their looks.

Later, after seeing Gu Ci's work, Bo Lin apologizes with a handwritten invitation and sincerely asks her to collaborate with him.

3. When Gu Ci receives Bo Lin's invitation, she feels that after eight long years of one-sided love and secret yearning, she finally has a chance to make their relationship official. Without hesitation, she packs her bags and sets off on a "romantic" journey with Bo Lin.

Before they leave, she imagines the exhibition's theme, "Starry Night Roses." They'll witness countless roses blooming and countless starry nights together. During the trip, Bo Lin will fall for her, and they'll naturally become a couple.

But before they even set off, one sentence from Bo Lin cuts off all her fantasies: "She's not the type I like."

Later, when Bo Lin holds Gu Ci and tries to kiss her, she asks, "Didn't you say you didn't like my type?"

Bo Lin, slightly drunk, replies, "Right, I don't like your type... I like you."

"After a long journey, I will finally scatter starlight over the roses."

"You are the most captivating tipsy rose I've ever seen."

Heartfelt Game blurb

While searching for inspiration for a fragrance at a bar, Le Siyin meets a man.

He has an elegant, cool demeanor and a tall, straight posture. Girls surround him, but he remains unmoved.

Warm and cool lights shift across his deep, handsome face and his strikingly seductive eyes, like a wordless invitation.

Their eyes meet, and an undercurrent of attraction passes between them. Le Siyin falls in love at first sight.

That night, Le Siyin finds the inspiration she was looking for. Not wanting him to feel he'd gotten nothing out of it, she gives him a bottle of perfume with a note: "A reward for you."

It isn't until a trending topic appears the next day that Le Siyin learns the man she flirted with was none other than Qi Huo, head of the Qi Group.

Everyone knows that the current head of the Qi family is a force to be reckoned with, yet an abstinent "monk" with nothing but wealth and good looks.

But Le Siyin refuses to believe it.

At their second meeting, she goes up to him and makes conversation, smiling as she looks at him and making her intentions clear. She asks outright, "How about being my boyfriend?"

The answer is just as she expected: "No."

At their third meeting, Le Siyin approaches him again. "Qi Huo, how about we play a game?"

"Give me a hundred days, and I'll make you crazy about me."

This time, Qi Huo doesn't refuse.

*

At first, Qi Huo agrees to play the game only to escape an arranged marriage.

After signing the marriage agreement, he doesn't take the hundred-day game seriously.

The girl in front of him is very beautiful, but she isn't his type.

He doesn't expect that from the very start of the game, he'll fall right into her trap.

Her countless flirtations and provocations draw him deeper and deeper, until he gradually becomes infatuated with her and craves her.

Later, when the hundred-day time limit expires, Le Siyin ends the game as promised.

Even after the engagement ends, she is in a bar chatting up a new target when Qi Huo suddenly appears and pulls her into an empty hallway.

Breathing raggedly, Le Siyin can clearly smell the strong, sharp whiskey on his breath.

The man's lips slide from her collarbone up her neck, finally coming to rest by her ear. His voice is husky and sensual with a hint of drunkenness. "Now that the game has begun, you have to see it through with me."

Le Siyin: "I'd be delighted."

-It's extremely dangerous when I set my sights on you.
